When should the Regions decide?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would favor most of these being handled by the regions. I am ambivalent on some, but adamant when  it comes to abortion, "as much of education as practical" and parts of healthcare. I would say guns, but at the same time I feel like the right to bear arms is a constitutional right so there are limits to how much the regions have leeway in that regards from a guns rights perspective.

I have in the past advocated for regionally and even locally tailored minimum wage formulas, so yeah that is one I could support.

I think it is also not just a question of constitutional limits, but also of game playability. Sure there are times when regions over stepped, but when you "federally decided some thing" in this game it has an permanence to it that shuts down playability potential. That is certainly the case with the abortion issue.

I have longed desired a clear settlement on which issues are the exclusive preserve of the regions. If we were to have an amendment before the Senate that listed those out, it would have my support.

The model of enumerating the federal powers, while vaguely leaving the rest to the regions, has clearly not worked. I think for both constitutional balance and for game playability, we should explore enumerating as many "exclusive" and/or "partial" preserves that are the regions to address.

NYE reached out to you for comment to clarify anything, correct?

No. My last Discord DM from NYE was on January 10th.

I must need to fire my press secretary. Reading that I was unavailable for comment surprised me.

I used to toy with the concept of NPC staff, and even created characters Trump-John Barron style for such purposes back in the 2010-2011 period.
